Wanda's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a check ."
"Oh, by the way don't worry about my dog Spike. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!" "I REPEAT; DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!"
When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he has ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work.
The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled, "Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!"
I know my husband doesn't listen to me sometimes. He sometimes goes, "huh? Oh, I'm sorry. I was inthralled into my movie here". ....Okay...I'll just talk to you later then (is what I sometimes say to him).
What my husband has is something called selective hearing. If a sentence has something of interest to him such as the word SEX, then I have his full attention....

I hear that they only hear what they want to hear. everything else is like a blur. Did this really happen or was it just a dream?

To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"
See - Men just don't listen!
What a funny, funny story, McGowdog! I cannot wait to tell it to my husband. Oh, wait! He won't hear it!! He never hears me! Get him, Spike.
Gotta tell my sister! She'll love it - she's married, too.
